Hot Hairstyle Trend: Half Up Top Knot

Hey my beautiful ladies! Trends are typically styles that you start to see everywhere seemingly overnight. It’s hard to guess how long hair trends will stick around for, but there are some we know will be here to stay as soon as we see it catching on. When it comes to the current trending hairstyles, the leader-of-the-pack is without a doubt the half up top knot.

How to create The Half Up Top Knot:
1. Add texture to your hair with a good sea salt spray spritzed onto wet hair and leave it to dry naturally if you want a more natural look. If you’re looking for a more groomed look use tongs or irons to curl.
And for the rest of you lucky enough to have wavy or curly hair – skip the first step and use your natural texture to straight away create the half-up messiness.
2. Section the top of your hair by running your index fingers from the top of your ear until they meet and tie back into a half-up, half-down ponytail.
3. Twirl the ponytail around the base of the hair band and pin into shape using hair pins. And for hold, spritz with hairspray. Voilà, it’s as easy as that!
